Profile:
Pulasthi Gunaratne is a late developer. He made his first-class debut in
1994 as a 20-year-old but was forced to wait another eight years before
playing international cricket. During those years there had been
suspicions cast upon his action and in the 1999/2000 season he was called for
throwing by Sri Lanka umpire D.N. Pathirana. Afterwards, however, modifications
were made to his action to the satisfaction of the cricket authorities. He
represented the Sri Lanka A side before making his Sri Lanka debut against
Bangladesh in August 2002, immediately impressing the management by
extracting surprising life from a typical dead Premadasa pitch and
maintaining a tight line and length. But the strength of Gunaratne lies
not in his pace but in the manner in which he has responded to pressure
situations. On two occasions during the Morocco Cup, against Pakistan and
then South Africa, he was brought on to bowl in the death overs. Despite
the tenseness of the situation he used his variations effectively and
generally kept his cool, ensuring Sri Lankan victories. That coolness leaves him as
the preferred third seamer in one-day squad.
